    I did a quick search and didn't see these mentioned so I thought I would ask. I see on eBay that Dagal has C channel style rails for model A frames now. Anyone used these to build an A frame? Thoughts? Looking at options for my build since I can't seem to find a decent original frame in my area and I really don't want to go with a square tube frame.

    Thanks,

    I saw them at the Portland swapmeet yesterday. They had a finished frame and a kit form displayed and it all looked like nice pieces. Their center crossmember also looked good.

    I am building an A with the Dagel frame. The frame material is thicker than original and the x-member is well thought out with provision for the brake pedal to be in the original location. I used a stock A rear cross member and used the new one he offers up front. I would recommend this frame to anyone who wants to build an A but can't find a decent frame.

    Brookville offers a Model A chassis with a rear buggy spring set-up or '40 ford rear spring set-up for a lower stance. Talk to their chassis guy, I was surprised to learn they offer all kinds of options not shown in the catalog. Prices are good too!
